Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[GoldenToffee]

Pickford, Branthwaite, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Doucoure did very well. Disappointed with Harrison and McNeil and the others were all meh. Got battered in the second half but despite all their nice play, Palace thankfully didn't have the killer edge.

Again Dyche gets a victory more though luck than his decisions - Onana selected despite being obviously injured, so Gueye the only player that can come on.

Delighted that Gueye scored his once-in-a-blue-moon goal of course.

If that's a team that has good strikers that dominates us in that way, we comfortably lose, and we're seeing a pattern of being dominated in games home and away.

Still, I'll take the points. All that matters is we stay up.

 

[Librarian]

Yeah but what is the meaning of losing?

Roll on MotD

Nailed on we'll be on last

 

[Toffeeback]

Decent first half, completely overrun in the second, but somehow pulled a win out of thin air. 3 points all that really matters.

Myko somehow turning into an offensive force is quite a nice surprise. Heck of a goal from Gana as well.

Would have gone Tarkowski for MOTM until the mixup on the goal, but went with Myko for the second goal in as many games and newfound form.

Love them

 

[LinekersLegs]

Not even the palace player I would have given it to!

 

[NathDogg]

That last goal was very good.

Up the we-don’t-like-the-ball toffees!

For the 2nd equalising goal it looked to me like Tarks should have cleared it. I can understand why he left it but Pickford is a line hugger so fault lays with Tarks for me. Pickford has to learn to come off his line to relieve defensive pressure and this alone is his weakness. Just a mess up between them

I fancy we’d have gone under at 2-2 in previous seasons but dyche has installed a bit of fight in them. Still wish he’d try and affect the game with subs when we’re under the pump rather than after we concede but can’t complain with our recent form.

 

[Runub]

To come back from the calamitous equaliser and win the game is very positive. In recent seasons we would have capitulated and lost

 

[TGW89]

Makes up for all the times he's leathered it into row z

The Senegalese Farrelly. So annoying, profligate and erratic (at least last season) - but damn you if you try to hate him

 

[Walter Ego]

Any ideas when we will know what game of the day will be on sky?

 

[DualityNSNO]

Still no idea why the ref was giving them so much tbh

He must've gotten a shout, he pulled out of it.

Pickford could have cost us. When will he command the six yard box its horrific…
But snatched victory from the jaws of a draw so good onwards and up!
